Hi,
I have not received the letter that you said you would send to me. Did you have the correct address?
There is 2 other reasons, check your postal place if they still have the mail or check to see if you sent it yet.

Are you sure he's trying to scam? Even a 80iq person who is trying to scam would have posted a buy it now item that is "popular" such as ATI graphic cards or laptops, ipods, or anything that has more value and appeal more to the consumers. The Emu1212 card is only known in the audiophile community.

Ahh, well, I was able to verify my information from that source, that was all I needed. I obviously did not get access to your account.

Perhaps a letter, email or phone call to his ISP would be in order?

As of now, phamducduc has said he sent me back the pimeta through USPS global priority, but says that there is no tracking number. Does USPS not give a tracking number for international shipment?

Unfortunately Global Priority Mail is not trackable, not insurable and not even guaranteed by the USPS to be delivered. It is usually reliable but no, he can't provide you with a tracking number if he sent it via that method.

It think he could be right.

"global priority mail" doesn't seem to have tracking.

I can confirm that no tracking is available with usps Global Priority.

What the heck are you people talking about? I have had many things shipped to me from the United States via USPS Priority. The most recent tracking number was "EC10617####US". USPS Express are like "ED43418####US". USPS Guaranteed are like "#############".

Global Priority and Global Express are two distinctly separate services. Tracking is available with Global Express, but not with Global Priority. From the USPS FAQ's:
Quote:

Tracking information provides the sender with online details of the item as it is enroute to it's destination. Express Mail®, Global Express Guaranteed® and Global Express Mail™ (depending on destination country) are the only services that provide tracking and they must be purchased when the item is mailed.

Express Mail label numbers typically begin with two letters followed by nine numbers and the letters "US" [ Note: "E" is currently the most common first letter ], located in the upper right-hand corner, below the barcode. An example might be: EA 000 000 000 US

Global Express (Outbound) label numbers typically begin with two letters ("E" followed by another letter) followed by nine numbers and the letters "US", located in the upper right-hand corner, below the barcode. For example: EA 000 000 000 US

Global Express (Inbound) label numbers typically begin with two letters ("E" followed by any other letter) followed by nine numbers and two more letters indicating country of origin, located in the upper right-hand corner, below the barcode. For example: EA 000 000 000 HK

Global Express Guaranteed label numbers usually have ten digits (no letters), located on the lower right-hand side of the receipt. For example: 82 000 000 00


Additionally, domestic Priority Mail allows for Delivery Confirmation but not detailed tracking. The difference is explained here.

There are many ways to send packages via the USPS. Global Express Mail(trackable, insurable), International Priority Mail(trackable, insurable), etc.. But, Global Priority Mail is not trackable or insurable. I send many packages overseas via this method and I'm very familiar with how it works.

Doesn't Global Priority require some sort of customs declaration, even if to Canada?

You may be able to at least check if the package was ever in customs that way....I have shipped a few things to Canada, and always seem to remember filling out that little blue-bordered Customs slip. It's not a tracking number per se, but may be used to see if customs saw it.

All that said, if it was supposedly shipped, and now hasn't been found, it's a little too fishy in my eyes, considering the suspicious nature of the transaction to begin with.
